  2. Sometimes he just liked to stop and smell the roses. What good what anything do for him if he was constantly stressing?

    At times like this it was best to halt, take a step back, and assess his choices. What ever went wrong, and how could he go about fixing it? He didn’t know for sure now, but that’s what he put aside this time for. Just the need to think.

  3. You had a tendency to erase everything if you decided you didn’t like it. Once, after writing nearly thirty seven pages of a story that had come to you on a whim, you stood up and threw your laptop out the apartment window, and watched it plummet sixteen stories to the pavement. The whole thing was smashed to bits; the hard drive, and the story. Some of your other outbursts were less dramatic- you simply pressed the backspace key, or burned the papers, or erased the sentences that your pencil had so carefully carved out. They were also a rarity. The occurrences were so few, I could easily count them on my hand.
    It had never bothered me, to watch you destroy whole manuscripts, entire notebooks, and over priced laptops. You were a writer, you didn’t look back, right? No looking back.
    Unfortunately, you liked to erase whole people- not just characters, and plot lines- too. You treated them as particles of graphite, left over residue from your pencil. You would brush them off, blow them off, and finally, erase their canvas until it was white, and empty again. And you never looked back.
    Please, look back, at me.

  4. Back… back… back…
    I do it all the time, wish I could to real life. That or Control+V. Sometimes I find myself reaching for the keys when I mess something up.

  5. I couldn’t think back to a time where my superstitions didn’t push aside the logic I’d work so hard to obtain. Did I owe my lack of sense to my mother’s visits to the witch doctor? Or were my inherited nerves only partially guilty for my nonsensical belief in black magic?

  6. Haha! Oopps, i’ve some mistake on a typographical level. It’s never been too mythical or anything but everytime there’s a mistake, you go back and delete it. You press backspace and the space is back

  7. When your typing on the computer and you mess up you have a backspace key to delete a word or a whole sentence.

  8. Backspace, Oh backspace. The joy it brings to erase and correct a word. If only one could backspace and delete those awful things we’ve said and done.

  9. I wrote several things before I once again hit backspace. I was tempted to do the same for the previous line. The space of time within a minute is plenty for a multitudinous amount of deletions and revisions of which the backspace is conveniently used. Yet, after every use: after every compulsion to erase in the event of an awkward phrase, revert when I’ve gone too far in place, or chip back at a word I could better attribute.

    Whose to say that I could be fine without deleting the previous? What are my mistakes? If I were channeling some deeper Truth wouldn’t I twist it by my treating it to a cheap sense of self?

  10. Backspace, an odd word that almost doesn’t connect to what it means: delete. A “back-space” would almost suggest a space in the other direction.

  11. Have you ever wished you could undo something in life? To click delete, backspace, control z? I do.. I wish I could stop myself from making stupid mistakes and to stop myself from hurting people, because I seem to do that a lot.

  12. Backspace. Deleted. To destroy what mistakes were made. Like an abortion for words. I am morbid enough to laugh at that. Backspace, where stories go to die. Backspace is where broken-legged ballerinas dance. Backspace.

  13. The back staircase coiled up in the narrow space next to the chimney. It was warm, there, even when the rest of the great house was frigid with winter. It was quiet, when the floors squeaked and groaned and the high echoing ceilings rang with laughter. It was private, and secret, no matter how many people filled the ballroom and spilled onto the patio and out into the gardens. It was theirs.

  14. Sometimes I want to write. I do. But the moment ta sentence has been tapped out, I look at it and think “Well, this sucks.” Then I hit backspace and it’s like I never really started writing anything.

  15. How convenient would it be to have a “backspace” button for life? A cliche’ thought, yet when have you made a mistake you wish you could take back? You have to live with your decisions and their consequences. Life isn’t a word document.

  16. The backspace button is very powerful. If you press it, you can delete an entire paragraph of even an essay! It is good and bad at the same time.

    ISN’T THAT COOL?

  19. We fumbled behind the curtain, trying not to disturb the actors who were diligently working on stage.

    “Get off my foot you lug,” I whispered at Jamie.
